what is the easiest way to go from HS to Epcot? seems that i remember a ferry of some sort being able to take people back and forth. if a ferry of this nature is still there....how long of a ride is it from epcot to HS? where does it leave from(in both parks)? any other info would be great!!

thanks,
amber

Yes there are boats that will take you from HS to epcot. You board just to your left after leaving the main gates. We took it to the swan and it took less than 10 minutes to get there, then it goes on to Epcot. The drivers of the boat are funny and keep you entertained! I have to believe this is a much faster way to Epcot than taking the bus!

Well, technically it goes DHS-S/D-YC/BC-BWI-Epcot (International Gateway entrance) and then back in reverse order, so there are several stops along the way. As a result, the ride can take 20-30 minutes and there sometimes can be quite a wait between boats. I enjoy the ride and it can be fun and relaxing, but it's not a quick trip; especially if you see a boat leaving as you are heading to the dock.

To get between DHS and Epcot you also can walk via BWI to the IG in about 30 minutes or take a bus from DHS to the main gate at Epcot.

The boat is at least 30 minutes from HS to EPCOT - but gets you to International Gateway, in World Showcase. Plus wait time, and there is about 15 minutes between boats.

The bus is a little faster on average depending on how long you wait for it, and it goes to the front of EPCOT.

So if your destination is World showcase take the boat, if Futureworld take the bus. Unless you prefer one or the other and don't care how long!

Bus is fastest - usually
Boat is good for change from busses
We like to walk as long as it's not too hot.
